Pieter Neve

My six paintings, in the naïve style, explore memories of my childhood and adolescence: events and situations that have shaped the person that I am today. I take the audience on a journey through the six most significant memories of my growing-up – from the humorous memory of an angry power drill attacking me when I was eight through to my changing perceptions of life, world issues and politics as I matured – to look like artwork of a young boy drawing on his personal memories. I was influenced by the autobiographical style of Basquiat and Kruger’s commentary on society.
